A traveller was talking of having seen( in some foreign country, bugs so large and powerful that two of them would drain a man‘s blood in the night. Sir John Doyle, to whom this was addressed, replied: "My good sir. we have the same animals in Ireâ€" land, but they are known there by another name; they call them humâ€" bugs." Heâ€"Why do locomotne: last only thirty years. Sheâ€" They smoke too much. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO SAME BUG â€"â€"100â€"ton Booster { "This find was made on the 14th naf this month in a shear zone in porplhyry near the south boundary of the properâ€" 't.y. The shear is about ten feet wide, | well shattered and heavily mineralized | with sulphides. Several vein segments Wesi quartz have been uncovered in this ?}.:ro!::n cround and associated with ft-hese we have showings of coarse gold ‘in amounts that equal anything yet found in the Kirkland Lake area and possibly anywhere in the North: The !shear is strongly weathereg and the is badly decomposed and alâ€" | tered through the ore zone. The genâ€" lera.l geological conditions are typical of |the district and the occurrence similar to that in the present production secâ€" tion of the belt." * ‘Trout Creek Gold Property the Scene | Recently of a Rich Surface Disâ€" | ceovery of Gold. This find was made during the course of a systematic programme of exploraâ€" tion laid out by the consulting enginâ€" eer, and which has been going on for about a month. On Tuesday the men were put to work trenching this shear zone, which have been discovered by the consulting engineer in the course of an examination of the property last fall. The same afternoon one of the men brought in a fine piece of high grads taken from the rusty> top of the rock exposed in the trench. Albert Jenckes, one of the directors of Trout Creek Gold Mines Ltd., was on the property at the time of the discovery. Subseâ€" quently, a large number of museum specimens were taken out of the loose material. It has not been possible as yet to prove the extension of the shear zone beyond about 30 feet, owing to heavy overburden, the engineer states, but in his opinion the possibility is that the strike will develop nearly parallel to the Temiskamingâ€"Keewatin contact which 11‘short distance to the east of the find. This runs about northeast and southwest on the property. Apart altogether from what this find may mean to the fortunes of Trout Creek Gold Mines, it will have an imâ€" portant bearing on the surrounding claims, notably those of Canadian Kirkland, adjoining, on what appears to be the line of strike. The discovery, too, is an object lesson in prospecting indicating the desirability of a thorâ€" ough surface examination of all claims in the Kirkland area. Trout Creek Gold Mining Co. Ltd. is capitalized at $3,000,000, in shares of $1 par; approximately 1,000,000 shares are issued. The property consist» of <139% acres, claims 16477, 16478, 16480 and 1385, situated in the township of Teck, adjoining Canadian Kirkland Gold Mines Ltd. on the west. The directors are: P. I. Price, president; Geo. Vine, viceâ€"president; A. E. Jenckes, Geo. E. Jones, John Price, sectretaryâ€"treasurer. The head office is at St. Catharines. aUME PARTIGULARS AS TO TKE HND AT A party of directors visited the proâ€" perty Sunday, to see the find and to make a decision as to future work. PIONEER WOMAN FOUND NEW wWAY TO MAKE PLUM PUDDING Reference was made in The Advance a couple of weeks ago to a rich find of gold at surface on the Trout Creek Ciold Mining Co. property near Swasâ€" tika. The find was quite closs to the Ferguson highway and so aroused more than â€"the usual interest. Samples shown at Swastika were remarkable for the amount of free gold in evidence. In further reference to the ftind at Swastika The Northern Miner last week salid :â€" s E. H. Orser, consulting engineer for Trout Creek Gold Mining Co. Ltd.. gives The Northern Miner the following description of the discovery. In a very interesting account of the second annual banquet given to the "Junior Women‘s Household Science Competition," for Temiskaming South, held at New Liskeard recently, the folâ€" lowing paragraph occurs in The New Liskeard Speaker, and will no doubt be read with special interest by many who find such information of particuâ€" lar att action :â€" E. F. Stephenson reminded the memâ€" bers o‘ the class that Domestic or Household Science was practised in Upâ€" per Canada a hundredl years ago. Reâ€" ference was made to the Ameriean imâ€" migrants who settled in York and Peel in the long ago; amd he told the story of the discovery by a farmer‘s wife, that ground carrots made a fine substitute for raisins in the making of plumâ€"pudâ€" dings. "Necessity is the mother of inâ€" vention." The farmer had invited his neighbours to have a Christmas dinâ€" ner, at his home, and was quite as much surprised as were the others at the dinner when the lady of the home put a very excellent plumâ€"pudding on the table nothwithstanding that there had been no raisins in the home, nor money with which to purchase them. It is said the farmer kissed his wife in the presence of the company and said: "Any man who has a wife wlio can make plumâ€"puddings with carrots will succeed in this country." ‘‘That pitcher is very wild,""‘ comâ€" mented her escort while watching a ball game. "How interesting! Do introduce me,‘‘ said the sweet young thing with A drug store in Oklahoma City adâ€" vocates preparedness with this sign above its soda fountain: "Take home a brick. You may have company." PREPAREDNESS â€"Exchange ‘"Manufacturers, transportation comâ€" panies and individuals have already subscribed to the Research Foundation of Ontario to an extent which means that before long the Treasurer of the province will be called upon to pay the first $200,000 of the $1,000,000 which the Government is pledged to contribute, concurrently with a similar amount from the industries. "Pledges with firms and individuals now run well up to the $1,000,000 laid down in the Research Foundation Act, 1928, as a start for the project, Premâ€" ier Ferguson states. Payment of $200,â€" 000 calls for a similar contribution from the treasury of Ontario, and this proâ€" cedure is to be followed for five years. "Among the larger amounts pledged is $100,000 from the Canadian Pacific Railway. Other contributors include: Robert Simpson Company, Liimnited, $25,000; R. S. McLaughlin, Oshawa, $25,000; J. H. Gundy, Toronto, $25,000; Canadian General Electric, $25,000; Sir Edward Kemp, $10,000, and Sir Joseph Flavelle, chairman of the Foundation, $10,000. "Objects of the Foundation are to carry on research work and investigaâ€" tions looking to improvement and deâ€" velopment of manufacturing and other industries by introduction of advanced methods and processes; development of the natural resources of the province and discovery and utilization of the byâ€" products of any processes in treating or otherwise dealing with the mineral, timber and other resources of the proâ€" vince, also the development and imâ€" provement of methods in the agriculâ€" tural industry." In order to assist industry generally throughout the province the Governâ€" ment of Ontario has inaugurated a plan for research. Under this plan industry in general and the province contribute to the cost of research work in various lines. There were some who feared that industry would be backward in contributing its part and so the whole scheme would more or less fall througshn. This, however, has not been the case, and the plan promises to be a success. In this district there should be special interest in the working out of the Reâ€" search Foundation of Ontario, as the idea in past years was advanced on at least two occasions in tie Northein Ontario Associated Boards of ‘Trade. Mr. John Vanier was one of the ITroâ€" auois Falls men advocating same form of coâ€"operation between the Governâ€" ment and the industries in the line of research work. He emphasized the benefits probable from, study that would â€"solve the problem of possible uses for byâ€"products in the pulp, paper and lumber industries. In regard to the Research Foundaâ€" tion of Ontario, The Toronto Mail and Empire last week said:â€" Barrie Examiner: "The police comâ€" plain that the practice of some drivâ€" ers in carrying their driver‘s permit above the windshield or in other places of their car is causing them much anâ€" noyance. As a result of this practice, one or two cases have come to light where thieves have been able to proâ€" duce the correct driver‘s permit when challenged by officers. Idenification through a permit is one of the most efficient and simple ways of checking up the ownership of an auto, but when owners leave their permits for the thieves they are making recovery doubly hard for the authorities."

Accompanied by his partner, Mr. Graham has been using an airship for traveliing purposes and tells us that they never had the slightest trouble with their machine during the thousands of miles travelled, with its hundreds of landings and takeâ€"offs. When it comes down to progressiveness in the prospecting game our friend Pete is right there with both feet and while he is not telling all he knows it is a safe bet that Mr. Graham and his associates have made good use of their summer‘s experience in the mining areas." * NEW LISKEARD PROSPECTORS USED AIRSHIP THIS sSUMMER TRENTON POET‘S IDEA OF THE PLACE TO GO ON VACATION (By Robert Sweet in The Quinte Sun, Trenton, Ont.)
